Alumni Employment and Continuing Education Rates

The Office of Institutional Research (OIR) annually conducts research on the employment and continuing education of recent SLU graduates from our undergraduate programs. The research method is an annual survey of all such recent graduates administered by e-mail, by standard mail, and by phone.

The survey asks alumni respondents to identify their current employment and education statuses according to one of the following categories:

EmployedRespondents who are employed full-time, employed part-time, or serving in the U.S. military. Does not include respondents who are enrolled in graduate or professional school.

In Graduate or Professional SchoolRespondents who are enrolled in a graduate or professional program and are not employed.

Employed and in Graduate or Professional SchoolRespondents who are enrolled in a graduate or professional program and employed.

Not Employed and Seeking EmploymentRespondents who are not employed and seeking employment.

Unemployed but Not Seeking EmploymentRespondents who are unemployed but not seeking employment.

Participating In a Year of Volunteer ServiceRespondents who are participating in a year of service program (e.g., Jesuit Volunteer Corps, Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Teach for America).

Summary results at the University-wide level are provided below.
